Meditation on Blue

I often avoid eye contact in the portraits I take. Without eye contact, the whole mood of the image changes – the camera is now simply an "observer" and this is a great opportunity to show a subject in a different way. Because the subject is looking "past" the camera, it introduces an element of the unknown into the photo.

About Artist

Alex Tsarfin

Conceptual Beauty, Portrait & Fine Art Photography at ATP Studio, Tirat Carmel, Israel. The story of Alex's creative development as a photographer is a beautiful testament to the evolution of an artist. Starting out as a multi-genre photographer, Alex eventually found his true calling in capturing the natural beauty of the female form. This is evident in his beautiful shots and restrained photographic style. However, Alex's growth as a photographer didn't end there. He began to explore the deeper psychological concept of aesthetics, and how our personal perceptions of beauty and appearance are shaped by societal norms and cultural conditioning. Through his work with models, Alex learned to strip away artificial notions of beauty and capture their true selves and inner beauty in a way that is both authentic and empowering. This journey of self-discovery is reflected in Alex's photographs, which have become a celebration of the natural beauty that lies within us all. His evolution as an artist is a beautiful example of the power of creativity and the importance of personal growth in the pursuit of art.
